Park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the engine, and engage the parking brake. Push down at each corner of the vehicle and observe the body's movement. It should stop moving and come to rest within one or two bounces. If the vehicle continues to bounce excessively or fails to return to its original position, it likely indicates worn or weak shock absorbers or strut assemblies.

Extend the damper rod and install the rubber bumper. Position the coil spring with the smaller coils going on first and carefully place it onto the damper shaft. Install the rubber bumper and push it all the way down. Install the upper spring seat and dust boot onto the damper shaft. Install the suspension support, aligning the support notch with the clevis bracket on the strut support. Install the nut and tighten it to the specified torque. Loosen the coil spring compressor(s) until the top coil is properly seated against the upper spring seat and suspension support. Relieve all tension from the spring compressor(s) and remove them from the coil spring. Finally, install the strut/spring assembly.

If special camber adjusting bolts have been installed sometime in the past, have the front end alignment checked and, if necessary, adjusted.

Raise the rear of the vehicle and securely support it on jackstands placed underneath the rear jacking points.
